Where can I buy lifting aids, manipulators and lift axes for industry in the Munich, Holzkirchen and Germany region? Short answer: Industrial lifting aids and lift axes up to 1,200 kg as well as manipulators up to 800 kg are available directly from the manufacturer Zeilhofer Handhabungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG in Holzkirchen near Munich. The company has been on the market since 1999, develops, manufactures and services the systems "Made in Germany" and supplies customers in Germ

: many search for the difference, yet both often mean the same thing. A manipulator is a lifting aid, that is, a technical device that takes the weight of a load and guides it pendulum-free, up to 800 kg. Zeilhofer Handhabungstechnik from Holzkirchen, Germany, builds these devices individually for 18 industries. A detailed definition is given in the guide What is a manipulator. For an overview of all types of lifting aids, see Lifting aids for production and industry. Articul

Pendulum-free handling guides heavy loads in a controlled manner — instead of allowing them to swing freely. This makes positioning precise, safe and ergonomic.

Heavy-load handling up to 1,200 kg means moving heavy components pendulum-free, precisely and ergonomically, instead of heaving them with brute force.

Battery module handling means moving battery modules and battery packs in e-mobility production safely, precisely and ergonomically.

How many kg may you lift? In Germany there is no rigid kilogram limit. The decisive rule is the German Load Handling Regulation (LasthandhabV).

Defense budgets are reaching record highs worldwide, and ammunition factories are multiplying their capacities. The bottleneck in production is rarely the machine, but the manual handling of heavy components. Zeilhofer's handling technology for the defense industry relieves workers: manipulators up to 800 kg, ZH90 lifting axis up to 1,200 kg, and custom grippers — pendulum-free and precise. ISO 9001 and TISAX Level 2 with prototype protection secure confidential projects.

The internal components of a fire door are heavy, large, and must be precisely fitted into the door frame. Previously, this often required two people. In our explanatory video, we demonstrate step by step how a manipulator from Zeilhofer Handling Technology performs this exact task: ergonomically, precisely, and with virtually any component size. The solution originated from a specific customer request in the door manufacturing industry. We explain which manipulator is used a

As key connecting elements in industry, they hold together pipelines, machines, and systems. Handling them presents people with significant physical challenges on a daily basis. And this is precisely where relief begins. Our new manipulator takes over the weight, guides the flange safely through every movement, and precisely positions it. For industry, this means: 🚀 more efficient processes ⚙️ Increased process reliability 🎉 Less downtime For humans, this means: 🙂 noticeab

This floor trolley lifts loads up to 30 kg and makes handling cylindrical components particularly safe and efficient. ✅ The powerful magnetic gripper ensures a firm hold, while the ergonomic operation in two positions allows for flexible working. 🪶 Thanks to specially developed Omni-Wheels, the floor trolley can be maneuvered in all directions while floating and with precision. 🛡️ For maximum safety, the intelligent overload control detects sudden load differences and inter

For handling car seats, we have developed several lifting axes that are precisely tailored to the respective production steps on site ✅ Each lifting axis was precisely adjusted to the height differences at the customer's site – without changing the actual lifting height 💡 This allows the seats to be handled safely, precisely and efficiently, while the systems are optimally integrated into the existing production environment 🏭 🚀 #zhht #zhhtproductvideo #handlingtechnology #

"Angelo isn't lifting today, he's got a threesome" 😉 …with three manipulators with different functions, demonstrating what smart and safe handling of longitudinal beams really looks like! 💪 #zhht #zhhtwashebstdu #angelowashebstdu #handlingtechnology #loadhandling #smarthandling #mechanicalengineering #madeingermany #automotiveproduction #electromobility

Longitudinal beams are load-bearing components in the vehicle frame, crucial for stability and safety. They must be handled precisely during the production process to ensure the highest quality standards. Our specially developed manipulators enable the worker to safely pick up longitudinal beams using a precise gripping device and to swivel or rotate them flexibly. This creates precisely the flexibility required for this production step – precise 🎯 safe 🛡️ efficient 🚀 #zhh

Why are we building a system with a lifting height of 2 meters? 🤔 Quite simply: The customer requirements and the existing on-site layout necessitate precisely this system configuration ⚠️ And that's precisely where our strength lies: We develop each lifting aid individually, precisely tailored to the requirements and processes on site 🏭 Anyone can do standard – we build solutions that fit 💡 #zhht #zhhtwhatareyou #angelowhatareyou #explanatoryvideo #techniciansexplain #han
